"Mine's blue," Ron said nodding his head. "Most definitely blue."

"I'd have to say pink," Hermione piped in although she sounded slightly less positive about her answer.

"Pink?" Ron said giving her a funny look. "You can be such a girl sometimes."

"Well, yes being as I am a girl," Hermione replied giving him a half smile.

"Right? So Harry what's yours?" Ron asked.

"What's my what?" Harry asked as though he had missed their entire exchange even though he had been sitting there the entire time.

"What's you favorite color?" Ron asked again.

"Oh… erm… red I guess," although it seemed more as though he had just said the first colored that came to mind.

"Red?" Ron asked even more taken aback than Hermione liking pink. "Since when have you ever liked r-"

"What kind of red Harry?" Hermione asked suddenly seeming very interested in Harry's answer.

Harry just shrugged. "I don't know. I kind of like orange too."

Ron looked as though he was about to say something but Hermione beat him to it.

"So would you say reddish orange?"

"I suppose," Harry said tentatively, not sure of the connection Hermione was trying to make.

"Maybe even Weasley red?" Hermione questioned smiling.

Harry just stared blankly back at her.

"Well of course Harry likes Weasley red. I am his best mate after all," Ron intruded feeling somewhat confused by his friends exchange.

Neither of them replied. Harry just continued to give Hermione a odd blank stare as if sizing up how much she really was hinting at, while Hermione smiled back him. Ron then joined in the odd exchange by looking back and forth from Harry to Hermione to figure out which one revealed their information first.

This continued for several long minutes until the thud of a book being dropped on the floor snapped all three out of their trance.

"Oh erm… sorry?" said the girl with reddish orange hair, a Weasley red one might say. Harry quickly broke all eye contact with Hermione and looked down at his book. It took him several seconds to discover that his book was no longer there.

Hermione just smiled even bigger.

"'s all right Ginny," Ron said to his little sister although he was still watching Hermione and Harry out of the corner of his eye.

Harry then took action about his missing book and went to pick it up off the floor just as Ginny did the same. He couldn't help but notice the red nail polish on her fingernails as she handed him the book she had knocked off their table.

"Well I suppose I'll see you guys later. Don't forget we have practice tonight," she said casually as she took up her favorite spot by the fire.

"Right." Harry couldn't stop his eyes from lingering for a few seconds before he turned back toward his friends only to be greeted by a severely smiling Hermione.

"Red eh?" she said looking at him through shining eyes.

"One might even say Weasley red?" Ron added as though he'd known what they were talking about all along.

"Yeah," Harry replied with his slightly red cheeks. "Weasley red."
